Mental Health Treatment Delay: A Comparison Among Civilians and Veterans of Different Service Eras.

CONCLUSIONS:: Post-9/11 veterans were less likely to delay treatment for some common psychiatric conditions compared with pre-9/11 veterans or civilians, which may reflect efforts to engage recent veterans in mental health care. All groups exhibited low initiation of treatment for alcohol use disorder, highlighting the need for further engagement efforts. PMID: 30841842 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
